I have just been offered a hard to refuse price for my 06 limited edition that i have converted to right hand drive here in australia. So i have been thinking of getting a 08 H2, but before i make the commitment i should find out how symetrical the dash is.
I can see from the pics that i will have to make a new passenger grab handle, does anyone have an 08 or know what other items are non symetrical in the dash? I like the rear fliping centre console lid (it was a pain flipping the side opeing of the 06. also is the ABS unit in the engine bay now or still under the left rear seat area? as we have to make one piece lines from the booster to the abs unit and this ends up with 13' lines with a million(well almost ) bends in it.
the other item is the heater box, does anyone know if this is the same as the outgoing model? if you pop down the glove n=box you can usually tell.
I dont suspect too many people have pulled on apart yet but any input would help.
finally , i've been told the brown leather is a bit redish and i shold avoid, but i've had 3 now with ebony and was looking at a change.

You might consider ordering a 2008 repair manual. I would phone them to find out when the 2008 manual will be available. It must be early spring in opposite world.

yup there on order, problem is no-one can tell me when they'll be availabe, i am looking at buying an 08 in the next fortnight (once i find a dealer with an actual good deal (these cars cost nearly 200k with the exchange rate once i get them here and pay all the import taxes and other freebies to the damn govt!)

yes it is spring here....a balmy 100 in the shade on the east coast of OZ!
will be over at xmas just to check if the toilet water does in fact flush the other way!!! (well worth the $1800 plane ticket cost!)
